Mental health solutions for all come into greater focus at SNF Nostos 2023

From deeply personal discussions with passionate advocates, to data shared by researchers, to destigmatizing talks by well-known public figures, SNF Nostos 2023 brought the importance of refocusing on mental health to the fore. 

On June 20-23, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) hosted SNF Nostos 2023, a global convening of researchers, practitioners, political leaders, and cultural figures investigating mental health challenges and developing innovative solutions—all while coming together to run for a good cause, catch unforgettable concerts, engage in art inspired by our own reflections on mental health, and so much more. This year’s gathering engaged a global audience of more than two thousand at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in Athens.

Young people led the way toward better health for all at SNF Nostos Health from SNF

SNF Nostos 2022 focused on challenges in health, shared worldwide examples of how they are being confronted, and announced new collaborations aiming to address them equitably and sustainably.

On June 23 and 24, SNF Nostos Health brought together health experts, ethicists, architects, artists, civil society leaders, scientists, musicians, and—critically—young people to frame the problems we collectively face in health and scout paths toward solutions. This 2022 iteration of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation’s (SNF) continually evolving annual summer gathering featured open discussion across disciplines and borders, transformative announcements related to SNF’s grantmaking, and the chance to come together for electrifying concerts, an inspiring run, and an inclusive basketball game at the opera to get energized for the work ahead. All told, a global audience of some 30,000 people joined us at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in Athens for SNF Nostos Health
